Interiors: Catherine Kwong’s Rock ‘n Roll Hideaway
Living room by Catherine Kwong, 2013 San Francisco Decorator Showcase
When pics of the 2013 San Francisco Decorator Showcase began to surface, this room by designer Catherine Kwong immediately made my short list of favorites. It has all the elements I love. Mixing old with new, streamlined with ornate… it's modern glamour done right! Catherine took inspiration from Mick and Bianca Jagger’s wild days, mixing luxe materials and rock-inspired accessories to create a super chic living space.

"I wanted the room to be just like Mick and Bianca: luxe and decadent, but with a rock 'n roll edge." - Catherine Kwong

Created by Stancil Studios (kudos, Stancil!), the painted floors were inspired by Cy Twombly's iconic work. They add edge, drama, and a contemporary counterpoint to the ceiling’s intricate detail. Needless to say, I love the look. If this floor was a canvas, it would be hanging in my living room.
